Marco Olivo Website

Who I am

Welcome to my home on the web! My name is Marco Olivo and I was born in Milan (Italy), where I live. Why don't you come here and visit my city? It's beautiful!

What I do & what I like

I graduated in Computer Science at the University of Milan (Dept of CS). My current "computer-related" interests involve:

• information retrieval on large quantities of data, such as the World-Wide Web (I did my MS thesis on this topic) and natural language processing
• security of Internet systems, servers, networks
• anti-spamming techniques
• privacy
• 3D graphics programming
• web programming
• and, last but not least, lossless compression techniques

Other things & interests

On this site you will find some of my programming activity and some information about myself.

I enjoy financial mathematics and econometrics (and also chaos theory), and I spend a great part of my lazy-time in following financial markets and studying financial topics. Despite my non-business educational background, I am very fascinated by these matters.
Luckily, I have a good mathematical background.

My other interests involve around soccer (I am a AC Milan fan!), Formula One (I am a Ferrari fan), mysteries & strange stories, almost all TV series, astronomy, geology, archeology (Egyptian and center-American civilties), ...
Have I told you that I love the English language and the American culture, their way of life, the American dream?

I hope you will enjoy this site!
